We're trying to replace all our single use packaging to eco-friendly alternatives.

We mentioned a while ago about how we're sourcing eco-friendly, biodegradable and recycled/recyclable packaging for all our products. Plastic Free July really hit home this year, especially living and working on the coast - we regularly go litter picking with local groups on the shore, and more often than not the discarded plastic waste is what causes havoc to our oceans, wildlife and beaches.So as part of our continuous efforts to become as eco-friendly as possible, we've updated a few aspects of our packaging.

Card and paper = good, plastic = bad!

Our new card Bath Salt packaging has replaced the cellophane bags we used to use. They are completely recyclable and do not pose a threat to wildlife and oceans should they be discarded inappropriately.

Biodegradable and compostable = great!

Our Bath Bombs used to come wrapped in recycled tissue paper, which was good, but not great! Wherever possible we're aiming for biodegradable and compostable packaging so that even if it is not recycled, it can be broken down naturally and won't sit on a landfill for centuries (or in the ocean!). Our new Bath Bomb wraps tick that box - not only do they look great, they are made from natural plant fibres that can be composted. We're so impressed with them we've been using them for Sugar Scrubs, Soaps, Guest Soaps (for our B&B customers) and loads of other products we would usually wrap in tissue paper or cellophane.

Kraft Postal Tape, Eco-friendly parcel fill

Our online customers already know that our packages are always carefully prepared to ensure all our products arrive in perfect condition. We've always used eco-friendly parcel fill, this stuff actually dissolves in water so there are no worries from an eco point of view. We've replaced the majority of our parcel tape with eco-friendly kraft tape, with biodegradable adhesives. We still use a very small amount of acrylic tape across the top, just to point out to the postman and couriers that there are fragile goodies inside the box so they take extra care.
